The story of the West Memphis Three is one of the strangest and most awful tales to shake our country in the last half century!

The countless layers surrounding the truth have been analyzed in books and multiple documentaries…

But now, Hollywood is prepared to share its take on the awful 1993 events that occurred in West Memphis, Arkansas.

In the trailer (above) for Devil's Knot starring Reese Witherspoon and Colin Firth, we see the tragic story of multiple savage murders of young boys—which sparks a controversial trial of three teenagers accused of killing as part of a satanic ritual.

It originally premiered at TIFF in September to mixed reviews, but we think it looks heart-wrenchingly amazing!

No word on a release date for the heavy flick, but it's rumored to drop in the Spring of 2014.

Charlize Theron starred in two huge blockbusters this summer and is currently filming another one with Tom Hardy, but she may be taking on a role which could easily translate into more Oscar gold.

The actress, who won an Academy Award for her portrayal of serial killer Aileen Wuornos in Monster, is producing and possibly starring in a film about the life of journalist Marie Colvin. The 56-year-old was tragically killed last February while covering the civil war in Syria.

Reese Witherspoon and Colin Firth have already signedon to appear in Devil's Knot, the Atom Egoyan-directed flick which tells the true story of the West Memphis 3, three teens wrongly convicted and imprisoned for the murders of three young boys in 1993, and now, True Blood's very own Stephen Moyer has joined the cast!
